A V1CE card is a physical card that opens your V1CE page the moment someone taps it on their phone or scans its QR code. Before it can do that, it needs to be linked to one of your pages.
Activating your card takes about two minutes. You find your card using the link printed on it, choose the page it should open, and give it a test tap to check it's working.
This guide is for people who already have a V1CE account. If you've just received your card and don't have an account yet, see You've received your V1CE card: what to do next instead.
